The story

Festival del Café Chiapas in Tapachula

The Festival Internacional del Cafe Chiapas de Corazon began in Tapachula in 2022, celebrating Chiapas as Mexico's top coffee-producing state, where Tapachula alone counts more than 24,000 hectares under coffee cultivation and 8,000 families working in the industry. Organized with Mexico's Secretary of Agriculture, INIFAP, and the Coffee Institute of Chiapas, the festival's continuity in Tapachula specifically is uncertain, since available information suggests the 2026 third edition may have shifted to Chilon.

Coffee has long defined the economy of southern Chiapas, and Tapachula sits at the heart of that identity, home to more than 24,000 hectares under coffee cultivation and roughly 8,000 families who depend on the crop for their livelihoods.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What makes this festival significant is its grounding in genuine agricultural weight: Chiapas is Mexico's leading coffee-producing state, and Tapachula's role within it, more than 24,000 hectares under cultivation supporting roughly 8,000 farming families, gives the event real economic substance beyond a typical cultural festival

02

The mystery stays covered

Its founding in 2022 with Italy as guest of honor signaled international ambitions from the start, and its organizational backing, spanning Mexico's federal Secretary of Agriculture, the agricultural research institute INIFAP, and the state-level Coffee Institute of Chiapas, reflects a serious public-sector investment in promoting the region's coffee industry
